  The Native-Born

  Rudyard Kipling

  The Native-Born is Rudyard Kipling in full, booming voice—an ode to homeland, heritage, and the fierce pride of those raised under blazing southern skies. 
  Through vivid imagery and pulsing rhythm, Kipling toasts the people of the far-flung British colonies: the “Sons of the Golden South,” the settlers and workers who carved their lives into vast prairies, tin-roofed towns, and coastlines battered by sun and sea. 
  With its rolling cadence and sweeping scope, the poem celebrates the land that shapes a person—the cradle that defines their loyalty, their labor, and their identity. From verandas glowing in moonlight to dusty plains alive with color and heat, The Native-Born blends nostalgia, rugged beauty, and unshakable pride. 
  Narrated with rich clarity by Phil Thames, this performance brings Kipling’s celebratory toast to life, honoring the people, places, and spirit that shaped a generation. 
  A stirring tribute. A timeless anthem. A salute to the land that calls you home.

  This is a thriller which traces the history of the Stevens family from 1916 to 2020, covering four generations. What is so unusual about this family is that they are all special intelligence operatives and serve in an ultra-secret unit answering to senior military officers appointed directly by the King. In each generation, the eldest son is selected to carry on the tradition when he reaches the age of 21 years.The operatives are highly-trained as intelligence agents, and their role is to act as judge, jury and executioner of the targets selected. The targets are men and women who have been engaged in treasonous activities or conducting espionage for a foreign power, but the agent has been given the discretion to satisfy himself that the charges are justified before he executes the offender.

  'Kings don't kill their wives alright? It's not – it just don't happen. It doesn't.'
  Tudor England. A field in Essex. Three women hurry to their childhood meeting place, thirsty for gossip from London. Word spreads of a clash between King Henry VIII and his Queen, Anne Boleyn. Closer to home, another rumour threatens to catch fire.
  As these women realise the parallels between their ordinary, rural lives and the royal drama taking place at a distance, they are faced with several choices, all of which end in violence.
  Ava Pickett's play 1536 is a fiendishly smart and funny drama which asks whether female solidarity can survive in a world where barbarism and misogyny are state sanctioned.
  It was commended by the George Devine Award, won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, and premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Lyndsey Turner. Ava Pickett was named Best Writer at the 2025 Stage Debut Awards.

  He’s seen it all. Until now. 
  Detective Darrius Blue has walked the shadowy streets of New York City for over a decade, chasing justice through blood-stained alleyways and broken dreams.
